A method of engineering a process line for a flexible manufacturing system

摘要

A method of engineering a process line for fabricating an assembly from a plurality of subassemblies generated from various work pieces is disclosed. The method comprises providing a plurality of standardized task stations 1 to 16, determining at least first and second templates, with each template comprising a pre-defined set of task stations selected from the task stations 1 to 16 for producing a subassembly and combining at least the first and second templates in a predetermined alignment to form said process line to fabricate said assembly.
